The narrative technique that bears the most tension in the readings of "The Pit and the Pendulum" by Edgar Allen Poe (1843) and "After Twenty Years" by O. Henry (1906) is the setting.
- The setting as a narrative technique describes the time and place that an event takes place in a story.
- The setting of Poe's "The Pit and the Pendulum" was in a cell with burning walls, symbolizing death. On the other hand, the setting of O. Henry's "After Twenty Years" was at a New York street, where Bob and Jimmy had originally agreed to meet again after twenty years.
- The same narrative technique of setting was the most effective in both stories.
Thus, Poe's "The Pit and the Pendulum" concentrated on scenes where the unreliable narrator was tried and sentenced to death, just as O. Henry's "After Twenty Years" dwelt on the scene where Bob was cut by the long hand of justice for a crime through his long-time friend, Jimmy.

A because he must froze cause he was scared
Answer:
In "The Open Boat," the cook was forced to bail out water initially, even though he didn’t quite like the sea. He would often say, "Gawd! That was a narrow clip," in reference to the looming waves. The oiler and the correspondent were compelled to keep on rowing, despite their growing tiredness: “The plan of the oiler and the correspondent was for one to row until he lost the ability, and then arouse the other from his seawater couch in the bottom of the boat.” This sentence conveys the growing exhaustion that the two men felt. The behavior of the sea was inconsistent as well. The sea would buck like a bronco at times and appear calm at other times. This would happen irrespective of how tired or sleep-deprived the men on the dinghy were. The sea did not judge the men’s situation when treating them the way that it did. The sea also did not seem to care as the men were approaching the shore, toward the end of the story, and destroyed their dinghy, forcing them to swim to shore despite their exhaustion. While one wave helped the tired correspondent reach the shore safely, another wave ended the oiler’s life. The random treatment of the two men who did the same job on the boat—rowing—exemplifies nature’s indifference to man.
